“It’s true that Samsung Electronics has decided to take immediate legal action against the Cupertino-based Apple,” one source, who sounds like an internal Samsung employee, told the paper. “Countries in Europe and even the United States ― Apple’s home-turf ― are our primary targets.” As we’ve already reported, Samsung believes the iPhone 5 will infringe on its patents related to 4G LTE connectivity. Apple has said that 3G patents can be used under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms, but another source said 4G LTE is a different ballgame.

“The story is totally different when you talk about LTE patents,” the insider told The Korea Times. “These are new and highly-valued.”
